the last priest

The "Maoshan School" that I will talk about next, that is, the "Maoshan School" that is now spread in Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Hong Kong, etc. In fact, they are neither from "San Mao" nor from Li Laojun , but from the many small sects that evolved from the White Lotus Sect in the Qing Dynasty. (⊙o⊙)...

When talking about the White Lotus Sect, everyone seems to think of sorcery and rebellion, but during the Qing Dynasty, most of the White Lotus Sect had been transferred to underground work.They rarely come out to engage in political struggles, and a large part has been transformed into ordinary beliefs.

Among them, the "Qinglian Sect" is the most powerful one that practiced spells. Historically, there was a head of this sect who could use "Qimen Dunjia" and was familiar with transformation spells.Most of the believers in the past dynasties would use talismans to transform water and chant mantras to treat ordinary people and relieve evil spirits, so they have a good reputation among the people.The Qinglian sect is best at kung fu of descending from the gods, of course they call it "shenquan" in term.There is only a bowl of clear water, burn sandalwood, draw amulets on the water bowl and chant mantras, after drinking water, there will be a god possessed, and you can punch and stick yourself, which is called "Shaolin God Fighting".Both men and women can study.Therefore, some "Maoshan" sects now have the skill of "spiritual fighting".

Now in the south, there will be "Shaolin Patriarch" or "Shaolin Green Master" written on the altar map, which is the patriarch of this sect, not the monk of Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan!In order to hide the taboo, the pictures of the altar handed down from later generations are only written as "Shaolin true leader", and "Bailian true leader" can be seen to have obvious white lotus color.

But because the names of their sect were so eye-catching, the Qing government arrested them everywhere.So simply changed the name to "Maoshan", why?Because there used to be a leader named "Mao Ziyuan" in the history of the White Lotus Sect, and Mao Mao is the same, which coincides with this idea.Speaking of this, everyone should understand something.

Besides, the patriarch of the "Maoshan" school is said to be the monk Tanzi.It is strange to say, how can a monk be the patriarch of a spell method?It is said that this monk was born from a floating egg, and he was born with supernatural powers.

This Danzi monk not only had a strange birth, but also his later fate. It is said that he learned the spells in the "Ruyi Book" from "Yuan Gong" in Yunmeng Mountain. Peach" the protagonist of the story.It is said that this white ape guarded the secret book "Ruyi Book" of Tiangong. The whole book talks about the method of miraculous transformation, and this method is very simple and easy to learn and master.

Yuan Gong passed the contents of the book to monk Danzi, and then burned the book.Therefore, Monk Danzi went down the mountain to start a sect with all his abilities.Therefore, most of the spells that talk about miraculous changes, flying to the sky and escaping from the ground come from this "Maoshan".But how this sect is called "Maoshan" is impossible to verify.But this method must have a close connection with Yunmeng Mountain's magic system.

The above forms the various factions of the Maoshan faction in various places

Strictly speaking, the orthodox Maoshan School only has the current Zhengyi lineage, but Cha Wenbin's lineage can be said to be an illegitimate child, and it is inextricably linked with Zhengyi. In the long river of history, it has slowly become fragmented. There are very few people who really understand Taoism. Those who know a little superficial dare to call themselves masters, show people Fengshui, and practice deeds. Today's Taoist priests and Taoist temples have completely evolved into A profession and a scenic spot have been lost, and those who devote themselves to cultivation are almost invisible.

Closer to home: that afternoon my father took tools and Zha Wenbin to the Temple of Generals. After smashing the copper lock a few times, the hall, which had been closed for an unknown number of years, was opened to the world again, with a soaring musty smell The rushing two hurriedly covered their noses, and glanced over, except for the vermilion lacquer coffin in the middle, there was nothing else, even in the daytime, such a scene is indeed quite infiltrating;

Zha Wenbin walked in first. When he noticed the murals on the wall, he was obviously a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he turned his eyes to another wall. That wall was the wall full of characters that I saw. It's just that he looked at it for an afternoon, as if he had settled down. My father watched him from the side and didn't dare to speak. He could only stand by the side. It wasn't until the sun went down that Cha Wenbin turned his head to me. Dad said: let's go!

My dad didn't dare to ask any more questions. Cha Wenbin asked my dad to lock the door again, told my dad that he had to go back to his hometown first, and gave my dad a talisman to stick at the gate and let him watch over me. , let me stop running around and come back in a few days.Cha Wenbin just disappeared temporarily for three days, and I did look better in those few days, and I was able to eat something. My mother saw the hope and prayed to the Bodhisattva at home all day long; three days later, Cha Wenbin Bin came to my house again, he first came to see me, and then motioned my dad to go out

Cha Wenbin told my dad that according to his deduction, the General Temple may have two origins:

The first statement was recorded in ancient books. He went back and looked up the manuscripts left by his master, and found such a passage: Speaking of General Temple, there are ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasty in the temple, and the hidden wall of auspicious beasts. There is also a passage, which is: As a general, the murderous nature is too fierce, turned into evil, good at swords and loves blood, adding blood evil, killing too much, every time a dead soul is added to the blade, the blood evil will increase by three points. , merged into one body, often bewitched, difficult to overcome in the world.Therefore, Chang Tianzi couldn't suppress the emperor's dragon spirit, so he killed him.

Those who are evil often have resentment when they die, so they are often cremated secretly after death.Then those who have the ability steal their corpses and bury them in the mountains, often asking Taoist priests to relieve their evil spirits and attract resentment.Therefore, the temple was often established, and Taoists of later generations would suppress those who were difficult to suppress with the righteousness of the Three Purities, and engraved with auspicious animals to avoid disasters.

That is to say, there may have been a general in this temple in a certain dynasty. I can't find it anymore, and the Cultural Revolution destroyed the Four Olds and destroyed many ancient relics, so it is impossible to verify who this general is.

The second inference: This temple is a Taoist temple at all, and it is very likely that it was built by the legendary Danzi monk who has all-powerful magic. It was the place where the two faucets of a water dragon and a small green dragon collided. It is said that the feng shui is very good, and there should not be such a big bad luck.

Zha Wenbin went on to say that after this Tanzi monk went to the west, he once passed on the sect, until something happened that caused the sect to disappear; until the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after all the people here disappeared, they moved here again A sect, this one should be the Qinglian Sect. In order to prevent the Qing government from eradicating it, it is known as a branch of the "Holy Lord Zhaohou" of the Maoshan Wumen, so this place was renamed the General Temple, and continued to deceive people. Some deeds, because Cha Wenbin vaguely saw the pattern of the holy decree of the Qinglian Sect - the white lotus flower on the burnt black wall.

But what puzzled him was the character-like pattern. According to his inference, it was written in a special Taoist script, which ordinary people could not understand. It will be taken into it, which is very likely to be the legendary Tiangong secret book "Ruyi Book". It's just that he can't understand the meaning of it with his current Taoism reward, but even so, he has achieved a qualitative leap in his cultivation realm.

After listening to my dad, he didn't understand either. He was most concerned about what happened to me?Cha Wenbin said, I have no signs of being haunted by hungry ghosts. I opened my sky eye to observe, and only saw one black cloud and one auspicious cloud churning up and down above my head. The reason for this cannot be deciphered yet, and further investigation may be needed to know.

As the saying goes, it is not as good as a tiger's den, I am afraid that tiger cubs are rare. Wen Bin decided to wait until tonight when the yin is the most serious, and then go to the General Temple to find out. This time he is well prepared, not only alone, but also specially asked me Dad found two pig butchers holding pig knives to go together. At that time, guns were not banned in the countryside, so my dad went with the family's shotgun.

Before Wen Bin entered the gate, he pulled out the Seven Star Sword and the Great Seal, and walked in the front. Two pig killers stood guard outside the gate in case of accidents, and my dad stood beside him, This time Wen Bin didn't choose to look at the wall, but went directly to the unknown coffin. In his consciousness, he felt that there must be something wrong with this coffin.

Before opening the museum, Cha Wenbin also put an incense stick on the coffin. If the incense can be burned out smoothly, it proves that the coffin will not be in big trouble. The Lord is not happy with your meddling here anymore, so hurry up and get out.

After burning the incense, Wen Bin respectfully bowed to the coffin again. When it was halfway burned, there was nothing unusual, but that night the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, making it look very dark. The tools for lighting were three miner's lamps, which shone on the coffin. In this small temple, it always feels that the light can't reach the edge, and the Buddha has the feeling of being swallowed.

Cha Wenbin put another stick of incense on the mural of the Supreme Lord on the wall, and then started to open the coffin. . .
